I’ve gone back and forth on this lineup previews all season and I have to admit it’s really difficult to find anything interesting these days. It doesn’t help that the Giants are going with yet another bullpen game, meaning there’s really no use in doing a deep dive on the starter. With that in mind, I’m sticking to the basics until — fingers crossed — the Cubs can start playing the kind of baseball that makes these posts worthwhile.
Kyle Hendricks looked great in his most recent start against the Giants and now he’s back to face them for the second time in less than a week.
